A woman has accused her husband of raping and impregnating a 17-year-old girl in Hulimavu police limits. The woman has also complained that eight other minor girls in the vicinity were also sexually harassed by her husband. The man used to lure the girls by giving them sweets, the complaint says.

The Hulimavu police has registered the case under Section 8 of the Protection of Children from Sexual Offences (POCSO) Act, 2012 against the accused, who has been identified as Kiran.

The 17-year-old, in her statement, has told police that Kiran used to take her to cinemas at shopping malls. He has misbehaved with her several times, she said.
Kiran’s wife told police that her husband had done the same with eight other minor girls.

“Kiran’s wife has filed a complaint and the case is under investigation,” MB Boraliangaiah, DCP (South East), told BM.

The police are on the lookout for the accused who is still at large. The accused is the father of a small boy. He is alleged to have been targeting school girls.

“Only the the 17-year-old girl has filed a complaint. No other girl has come forward to corroborate the allegations made against Kiran by his wife. Preliminary investigations suggest that the relationship between Kiran and his wife was not cordial. We will summon the woman asking her to give more details on the eight victims. However, the 17-year-old victim has given her statements against Kiran and the probe is being carried out,” said an officer who is part of the investigations.
Section 8 of POCSO is sexual assault on a minor girl. Whoever, commits sexual assault, shall be punished with imprisonment of either description for a term which may extend to five years.
